I understand. As I posted, a page may be placed into the supplemental index for a variety of reasons, but, a supplemental result is a supplemental result. If you have a good page(s) that is supplemental, or a page(s) that were in the regular index prior to Big Daddy, a likely reason is the "quality" of links. Dave
Hey Dave.... imagine meeting U here -- he he Did MC actually say to get links? I caught the one Adam posted.. and since MC always totes the company 'don't actively seek links' stance - I was suprised.. if ya got an instance o him saying it.. show me man.. would LOVE to see that --hee hee Oh and on the SI stuff.. I am with Dave... we're 2 of the SEO Dwarfs though... He's Cranky I'm Volatile We tend to relate on things....
Thanks...don't bust a nut or anything.. but I would love it in my collection with my Adam one to raz with.. he he.. hmmmm Hi Ho, Hi Ho - let's to do some SEO Black or white - in day or night - Hi ho, Hi ho,hi ho,hi ho
Are you collecting quotes to show the absolute silliness of Google's position that we all just sit on our hands and wait for others to link to every page in our web sites - because anything else would be "evil"? If so, then indeed - most excellent.
Thank you Phynder. Yes, that was the latest from Matt. Dave <--- busy replying to you in another thread.
Not sure if this will help you or not. http://www.1stsearchenginerankings....-supplemental-results-and-how-to-get-removed/ It explains alot of things. Matt is not always 100% correct
Holy crap... Big V..you round too?? Do any of us have lives? He he.. damned funny boyz... that's dedication 4 U Though U R the 'supplemental guy' so it musta caught yer eye Yeah.. pretty much something like that... have a M8 I want to bug with it... I knew about the Adam one... he he..
I am off to write a post on my new Google ranking... no actually on the domain name factoring in Google and then I am off to find my life
Find your LIFE?? Isn't that a brand of cereal? Hmmm gonna have to check the Wiki for this 'life' thing
Hey Visio.. wanna be the 3rd dwarf? We're a little short.. Get it??? We're a little short?!? Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha
To me it does sound likely that there are two kinds. But this is the first I've heard of them as well.
No there is one fact and there is one false. I hate to say it but Matt is incorrect on this and he knows it. Believe me he does. The supplemental results are not as he says. As some have noted he almost makes them sound like something you might want to get into or at least they aren't that bad. A supplemental result can only rank for low competition phrases. It doesn't sound good to me.
I don't read Matt that way. My take is that it's being said that having a page in the SI isn't neccessarily a "bad" thing because good pages that end up there are ther because of links, not a quality issue, and you could get them out via your link profile. Currently, in all the DC's except one, the SI is being used exactly as it always has. Google looking there only when they cannot fill a data set for a query in just the regular index. In that single DC, that is not the case. They start looking in the SI when they cannot find enough "good matches" in the RI. An example of this might be a 3 word query. Instead of using 2 word matches from the RI the go to the SI and look for additional 3 word matches. I won't disagree that having pages in the SI isn't a "good" thing, but, it's not neccessarily a "bad" thing either. At least not in the context of quality. Dave
Totally agree. Getting good links can get you out of the supplemental index however that doesn't mean it is not necessarily a bad thing. I do a lot of long tail in fact every day that increase pretty good so that I get tons of traffic from Google for low competition phrases. Phrases that probably could be won with a supplemental page however as long as it is supplemental it stifles that pages growth in the search engine world. Yes links can fix that but assuming two pages are identical in ALL aspects except that one is supplemental and one is regular. The regular page will rank higher. Getting links can get you out but staying out is the best idea
